Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 2-oxocyclohexanecarbonitrile 120 (10 g, 81.2 mmol) and ethyl hydrazine 119 (3 equiv, 14.6 g) in 150 mL of absolute ethanol was refluxed for 20 hrs and was concentrated on rotavapor to dryness. The crude product was recrystallized from methanol to afford the desired product 124. (Reference for the preparation of compound 124: J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1959, 81, 2448-2452)
